LG G8 ThinQ [REVIEW] : A much better phone than it gets credit forQuelle: G Style MagazineEN→DEThere are a few offerings for the LG G8 ThinQ on your favorite carrier. AT&T has an offering at $829, Sprint and Verizon have it priced at $840 and T-Mobile has the absolute best offering at $619 with $200 being taken off for T-Mobile customers. It’s not a “budget” phone but it’s a lesser expensive option than the iPhone XS and the Samsung Galaxy S10. The LG G8 ThinQ is a phone that I would recommend anyone buy if they want a break from the norm. Forget the haters. Einzeltest, online verfügbar, Mittel, Datum: 22.04.2019

60%LG G8 ThinQ reviewQuelle: Stuff TVEN→DEIf the G8 were on sale through official channels here in the UK it might earn an extra star, but as it stands we just don't think trying to import one is a sensible move - not when similarly-priced rivals offer better features, full network compatibility and a proper warranty.

60%LG G8 ThinQ reviewQuelle: PC AdvisorEN→DEThe G8 ThinQ has plenty going for it, but unfortunately not in the areas that count for most consumers. The display and audio support are both among the best in the industry, but bland design and a so-so camera let it all down. Einzeltest, online verfügbar, Lang, Datum: 12.04.2019Bewertung:Gesamt: 60%

80%LG G8 ThinQ review: a screen and sound superstarQuelle: T3EN→DEThe LG G8 ThinQ impresses in its performance, audio quality and feature set, and offers up decent camera-taking capabilities and battery life at the same time. It might not stand out as the very best phone of 2019, but if you can find it at a good price, it's certainly worth considering for your next upgrade.

70%LG G8 review: Almost there, yet againQuelle: Android CentralEN→DEThe G8 is a fine phone, but one that also struggles to stand out. It has hardware, specs and nice-to-have features that are all well-executed and enjoyable to use, plus a few neat additions like the speaker system and 3D-based face unlock. But LG's consistent missteps in software design, camera quality that doesn't stand up to the competition, and focus on new features like Air Motion that are purely distractions all get in the way of a core phone experience that is otherwise solid and worth considering.

84%LG G8 ThinQ reviewQuelle: GSM ArenaEN→DEUnfortunately, it's not all sunshine and roses. The Crystal Sound OLED panel's sound quality isn't the best we've seen. The 3D ToF-enabled features, except for the excellent portrait selfies and the Face Unlock, feels downright gimmicky. The Hand ID works really slow and it's unreliable, the Air Motion gestures need more work. And it's really hard to see any proper use case for those at all. It will be cool to show off to some friends but you will end up using the fingerprint reader, the Face Unlock and resort to tapping instead of waving with your hands when it comes to simple tasks like changing a track, capturing a screenshot and turning up the volume. Some kind of competitive fast charging tech would have been much more appreciated. Einzeltest, online verfügbar, Sehr Lang, Datum: 09.04.2019Bewertung:Gesamt: 84%

80%LG G8 ThinQ ReviewQuelle: Phone ArenaEN→DEThe G8, however, can be currently had for just a little over $600, which is significantly less – and a fair price considering what you get in exchange: a well-rounded Android phone with a good-looking screen, the fast Snapdragon 855 chip, and a capable set of cameras. We're also glad to see that LG stuck with a classic fingerprint reader and paired it with reliable facial recognition. In-screen fingerprint readers may look cool and futuristic, but they're simply not good enough yet to prefer over a classic solution.

60%LG G8 ThinQ Review: A Good Phone Marred By GimmicksQuelle: Tom's GuideEN→DEThe depth-sensing front-facing camera doesn't take better selfies than a standard lens, and the battery life is underwhelming compared with the other flagships released so far this year. And with LG's V50 ThinQ on the horizon — which will deliver 5G connectivity, triple-lens camera and giant battery in one sleek package — the G8 ThinQ feels like a gimmicky phone without a purpose.

80%LG G8 ThinQ review: Safe design lacks that special somethingQuelle: Pocket LintEN→DEThe LG G8 has a lot to offer and in many areas. It's a perfectly capable phone that ticks most boxes on the spec sheet and has convenience features like waterproofing, a 3.5mm headphone socket and support for microSD card expansion.

73%LG G8 ThinQ review: A wasted opportunityQuelle: EngadgetEN→DELG’s new G8 ThinQ packs the performance you’d expect from a modern flagship phone and, as usual, it’s a great option for people who care about smartphone sound quality. Beyond that, there’s little here to set it apart from this year’s early crowd of premium devices, aside from a clever time-of-flight sensor that powers ambitious features that don’t actually work very well. At its best, the G8 ThinQ that doesn’t quite have the tools to outperform the competition. At worst, it’s an example of the uneven results that occur when a company tries to innovate without thinking about practicality.

65%LG G8 Thinq Review: Many Gimmicks, Not Enough ProgressQuelle: The VergeEN→DELG usually overhauls its G-series each year, but comparing it to Apple’s smartphone naming conventions, the G8 is more of an “S” upgrade to the G7 ThinQ. Many things about it are the same, but there are a few improvements that might interest you. Most S-year phones are worth checking out because, as Dieter Bohn said in his review of the Pixel 3, “It’s better to be on the S-cycle: you get a faster phone, better camera, and the fixes that come after a year with the original design.” But aside from improved specs, the things that changed in the G8 ThinQ are things that I think most users can carry on without.

LG G8 ThinQ review: LG chooses to blend in rather than stand outQuelle: Android AuthorityEN→DEThe LG G8 ThinQ is a perfectly nice phone, but LG perhaps played it too safe. The phone is indeed a powerful update to last year's G7 as far as specs and performance are concerned, and yet LG has done nothing to make the phone truly shine. The G8 ThinQ is a serviceable device for those who take the vanilla approach to life. Einzeltest, online verfügbar, Sehr Lang, Datum: 09.04.2019

LG G8 ThinQ Review: Gimmicks Don’t Help Dated Software, HardwareQuelle: Droid LifeEN→DELG announced that G8 will be priced at $820. Interestingly, though, if you pay that much for this phone, I can guarantee you that you’re getting shafted. For instance, T-Mobile instantly dropped the price of the phone’s retail price to $620, which is basically unheard of. Or how about Best Buy and B&H? At Best Buy, you can get the phone for $649, while B&H has it for $699. When you go through a carrier’s monthly payment plans, like Verizon, you’ll paying just $490 over the course of 24 months. I recommend you check the links below and see what deals your specific carrier is offering if you want to buy this phone. And yes, there are trade-in deals, prepaid card offers, and everything else you’d expect from a new phone launch. Einzeltest, online verfügbar, Sehr Lang, Datum: 09.04.2019

Hands on: LG G8 reviewQuelle: TechradarEN→DEThe LG G8 is pushing Hand ID to unlock the phone and midair gestures to control things like the volume. It didn't work well enough for us in our demo time with the phone, but we did test other promising tech. Its hole-less speaker gets rid of the top speaker grill with innovative vibrating sound, and video portrait mode makes its debut. Einzeltest, online verfügbar, Sehr Lang, Datum: 25.02.2019

LG G8 ThinQ Hands-on, Quick Review: Back To GimmicksQuelle: UnboxEN→DELG’s new flagship certainty feels like a throwback to when the company wasn’t afraid of doing weird things, though the market hasn’t really responded positively to said weird things. It’s not hard to see LG’s rationale for going back to their old ways – heck, doing things the traditional way didn’t really pay off for them, so why not go wild with new gimmicks.

Hands on: LG G8 ReviewQuelle: Trusted ReviewsEN→DEThe LG G8 certainly isn’t going to be a memorable MWC 2019 launch, Especially with 5G, flexible displays and bombastic specs all the rage. It will, I suspect, be a good phone though and one that’ll likely undercut many of the competitors in price. Einzeltest, online verfügbar, Mittel, Datum: 24.02.2019

LG G8 ThinQ initial review: Great or gimmicky?Quelle: Pocket LintEN→DEThe LG G8 ThinQ concentrates on software features and camera updates, rather than a total design overhaul, though that isn't to say it isn't still a luxurious looking device. The Moroccan Blue is fabulous. The new software features are interesting too, we just aren't yet sure if they serve a real world purpose, putting them in danger of being gimmicky rather than great.

LG G8 ThinQ Hands-on: Touching your phone is overratedQuelle: Mobile SyrupEN→DEI’m excited about the LG G8 ThinQ, the handset features top-of-the-line specs, Android 9 Pie out of the box and an all-new ToF sensor. Being able to unlock your handset and launch new apps without actually touching the device is quite a fun experience. How useful I’ll find it, however, is unclear but it’s definitely alluring.
